Animal Abuse

..."Animal abuse should be a felony." Animal abuse should be a felony. No creature should be beaten, tortured, and abused. I have never known how anyone could be Malicious and demented, so cruel and unforgiving. And for what, what is the reward for you, Laughter for a moment, looking big, showing off for your crew. Animals, I have seen, Bloodied, beaten within an inch of their lives, dying. Unloved, unwanted, neglected, abandoned Starving for food and love, in my head I can hear them crying. Every little piece of love is needed, every little soul needs fed. Written by Gina Young for Write It Deep and Dramatic, Please on 9/4/11

Man have you got this one down, Gina! wonderful write and you have got the immature reasoning of it all down to a science. I know . I was sort of there in a way in my younger more stupid days until I grew up and saw how poorly I was treating God's lovely creatures at times. This should be a number 1. It is in my book. Thank you for writing about it. Very important write

Robert~ thank you! Very kind words. I am glad that you realized what you were doing was wrong. I myself have looked back at things I have done and felt awful. I never really intentionally hurt animals but there were things I definitely should have done differently.

I found your poem very hard to read, but it needed to be said. I love animals and I believe that people who hurt animals are emotionally sick. Well done, this poem really touched me. Lee
